"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

The Game - Neil Strauss

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

BxPrince24,

Firstly, you're posting in the wrong forum. I'd recomend anything else.

But in answer to your question. Its not a self help book. If thats what you're assuming.

Its a story about neil strauss' time in the community. I found it a great insight into history of the PUA community. There were a couple of really good tips in their aswell.

I didn't know much at all about the gurus before reading it. Now that I know some more about them, I've found its increased my understanding.

For me, it was well worth the $23.00 I spent on it.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

It's a good book. Only if you're a "reading books for fun" kinda person, there are plenty of much better sources to learn from.

There's nothing more to say about it.

It's not an informational book, it's an autobiographical type of novel, and a damned good one. It's just a good book, I recommend it for the entertainment value alone.

I agree with the other Dons. It is purely entertainment value. What you've learned from this board or on other boards is in the book. Not as a self-help but as a non-fictional/autobiographical work. But if you want an answer to your question: GET IT! Worth every cent. I just finshed reading it today and I couldn't put it down. Been reading it for 4 days now and that is the fastest I've read ever! That would be about 115 pages a day. It's THAT interesting

I read this book and I'm very glad I read it. It's a great part of your continual learning process when it comes to dealing with women. It kinda showed me that you really need to work on yourself to get the success you want with women and your life.

I've made it a point to read all the recommended books by David DeAngelo and the recommened books posted on fastseduction.com. Some people might think it's a waste of time but each book I read helps to disassemble the misinfomation I've received from church, my parents, friends, the media, hollywood and other sources that I've been exposed to most of my life on how I should deal with women.
